The British Pathé site is the first
digital news archive available online. Launched in July 2002, and
substantially updated in November 2002, it offers access to 3,500
hours of news footage spanning almost a century, from 1896 until
1970, including footage from Pathé’s famous bi-weekly
newsreel, the Pathe Gazette. Video clips do have to be purchased,
but the site can be searched and the storyboards of clips can be
viewed for free. In addition to this free preview files can be downloaded,
and users will need to have Windows Media Player installed to view
these.
